Newbie with DS3THPSPORT

[parker1]

Hi All
Have been a member of various car forums for years and have recently bought a My11 DS3 sport. I will get pics up when we get some decent weather (i know we all love pics).I am loving the car at the moment and cant believe the MPG for a petrol, averaging 40 mpg at the moment with mixed driving . I have one question which is probably stupid, but where do you put the leather case with the car manual inside too,the glove box is to small to accept it,i want to keep it in the car as i have always done,the only place i have found to keep it is in the passenger side door which will get in the way. anyway i'm always up for meets etc as i used to be a regional organiser on a scooby forum, anyone else around from the Devon Area?. Thank's in advance Kev.

hi welcome

Hi Kev, Welcome.

Like Chris, mine is also in the passenger door too, can't think of anywhere else it would fit! (under the boot carpet with the tyre kit? Don't know not checked).

Good mpg out of a THP (do a check on the 'real' mpg though - my onboard computer over-states it by about 10%, no surprise it's set generously, all my cars have been with respect to the on-board computer mpg calculation!).

Regards,
Clive.

Welcome!

I keep my car manual in the boot, under the mat. I have a PDF copy of it on my phone so don't need to refer to the actual manual very often.

MPG sounds pretty good, I've managed to get mine down to about 35 over the last few weeks because I've been only doing short trips. When I first got it, was doing mostly long trips and was averaging 45+

Looking forward to the pics

There is a elastic strap on the left had side in the boot, I keep various things there. Tidy and out of the way.
